Is Irritable Bowel Syndrome Considered as Comorbidity in Clinical Trials of Physical Therapy Interventions in Fibromyalgia? A Scoping Review
(MDPI, 2021)
Evidence supports the presence of comorbid conditions, e.g., irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), in individuals with fibromyalgia (FM). Physical therapy plays an essential role in the treatment of FM; however, it is not currently ...
Influence of Spinal Movements Associated with Physical Evaluation on Muscle Mechanical Properties of the Lumbar Paraspinal in Subjects with Acute Low Back Pain
(MDPI, 2022)
This research aimed to identify changes in muscle mechanical properties (MMPs) when a standardized sequence of movements is performed and to determine the influence of acute low back pain (LBP) and age on the MMPs. ...
Validity of the Isometric Contraction Test of the Masticatory Muscles for Diagnosis of Muscular Temporomandibular Disorders
(MDPI, 2022)
In recent years, the Diagnostic Criteria for Temporomandibular Pain Disorders (DC/TMD) has been questioned, mainly because of the dependence on the muscular pressure needed to be applied during the clinical examination. ...
Has the phase of the menstrual cycle been considered in studies investigating pressure pain sensitivity in migraine and tension-type headache: A scoping review
(MDPI, 2023)
Objective: The aim of this scoping review was to identify if the phase of the menstrual
cycle was considered in observational studies comparing pressure pain sensitivity between women
with migraine or tension-type headache ...
Is irritable bowel syndrome considered in clinical trials on physical therapy applied to patients with temporo-mandibular disorders? A scoping review
(MDPI, 2020)
The aim of the current scoping review was to identify if the presence of irritable bowel
syndrome was included as eligibility criteria of participants included in clinical trials investigating
the e ects of physical ...
Localized and widespread pressure pain hypersensitivity in patients with episodic or chronic migraine: A systematic review and meta-analysis
(National Library of Medicine, 2022)
Objective: This meta-analysis compared pressure pain sensitivity in trigeminal, cervical spine and remote pain-free areas between migraine patients and headache-free controls considering diagnosis (episodic versus chronic) ...
Clinical, psychological, and neurophysiological outcomes associated with pain and function in individuals with unilateral plantar heel pain
(Oxford Academic, 2022)
To assess the potential relationship of demographic (age, gender, body mass index, height, weight), clinical (affected side, duration of symptoms, health-related quality of life), psychological (depressive levels), or ...
Test-retest reliability of the isometric contraction test (IC test) of the masticatory muscles in subjects with and without temporomandibular muscle disorders
(National Library of Medicine, 2023)
Recently, the DC/TMD has become an essential tool for the diagnosis of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). However, as they fail to include functional activities, new assessment proposals have emerged, such as the isometric ...
Association between muscle trigger points, ongoing pain, function, and sleep quality in elderly women with bilateral painful knee osteoarthritis
(National Library of Medicine, 2015)
Objective: The objectives of this study were to investigate if referred pain elicited by active trigger points (TrPs) reproduced the symptoms in individuals with painful knee osteoarthritis (OA) and to determine the ...
Effects of mobilization with movement on pain and range of motion in patients with unilateral shoulder impingement syndrome: a randomized controlled trial
(Elsevier, 2015)
Objective: The purpose of this study was to compare the immediate effects of mobilization with movement (MWM) to a sham technique in patients with shoulder impingement syndrome. Methods: A randomized controlled trial was ...
